Man's feelings are always purest and most glowing in the hour of meeting and of farewell. I've been rather nostalgic lately... trying to remember all the reasons I loved this city. Seattle, we've had our ups and downs. But you've been good to me overall.
Shakespeare wrote, "Farewell, fair cruelty.”
And so these are my feelings as a bid thee fairwell. Be good to my friends. Some of them might just have what it takes to make it, though most of them don't. Take care of your stars dear girl. We've had few, I know. But that doesn't mean it can't change.
Our evenings have been farewells. Our words testaments. So that the secret stream of suffering and pain may warm the cold of life.
Even in my absence - I write to right.
